UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

An individual's genome is the sum total of their genes. DNA and RNA strands vary in length from less than two dozen base ...

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

New research challenges previous assumptions about RNA transport, finding that RNA can carry instructions across generations.

During DNA replication, the complementary base pairing ensures faithful copying of the genetic material. In RNA, cytosine also pairs with guanine. However, RNA is typically single-stranded and serves ...

Double-stranded DNA helices are great for storing genetic ... carry out all sorts of functions to keep cells alive. What ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage, but it turns out that this is not the full truth.

detecting as little as ≤1 ng of single-stranded DNA and small DNA fragments. For RNA analysis, the EMBER™ Ultra RNA Gel Kit precisely detects as little as ≤5 ng RNA, and reduces hands-on preparation ...

Researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.
